Just because things happen
in slow motion doesn't mean they don't happen.

Skepticism:
When
you read “Six
Minnesota men charged with conspiring to support the Islamic State “
didn't you immediately
suspect the FBI planned the whole thing? All
six of the 'terrorists'
had been conspiring
(most likely with an
agent provocateur) for
months. Details on how
the brave agents of the FBI set up this batch of stooges were not
imediately available. Piggy
Banking:Greece
is so low on cash to pay off the German bankers that the state has
ordered
local governments to turn in all of their funds to the the central
government. This is generally the one of the last steps before the
whole thing goes down the drain.

Truth:
The Washington Post has informed all and sundry that the elite
(which in this case includes the Washington Post) will lie, cheat and
steal to pass the TPP – which is not about trade bugt about
installing international corporations as the supreme rulers of the
universe, able to leap local, state and national laws and to extract
tax monies without ever bothering with a ballot box. Biology
Rules:
Iowa Republicans have killed a bill that would have terminated the
parental rights of convicted rapists because the
state should not stand in the way of a man's god-given right to rape
his kids
it was simply “feel-good” legislation. Just
Wondering: If
possession (and presumably use) of small amounts of marijuana is
legal in your state, can an employer deny you a job if you test
positive?

Sunk
Costs: “Greece
would have been better off exiting the euro in 2010. You can make an
even better case that Greece would have been much better off if it
had never joined in the first place.” But
they did, and here they are.

Solid
As A Rocker:
The Federal Reserve seems set to rule that the biggest Wall Street
banks can count S&H
Green Stamps
some municipal bonds as
part of the ready cash they must have to tide themselves (and their
depositors) through a
financial-market meltdown.

The
Untouchable:
AIPAC's Netanyahu has been given an additional two weeks (on top of
the Constitutional 28 days) to find patsies to join him in forming a
new government for Israel – most of the other parties don't want
anything to do with him. He'd be better off asking Congressional
Republicans to move to Tel Aviv. The
Heartland:
When the mostly black good citizens of Parma, MO elected a black woman
as mayor, most of the (white) police officers resigned, along with
the city attorneyand the guy that ran the water plant. Dog pound operations were not
immediately affected. Or afflicted. Unexpected
Consequences:A San Antonio, TX woman, facing a $2,000 find for feeding the
homeless, has invoked the state's religious freedom rules, arguing
that it is exactly what her Christian religion tells her she must do.
The District Attorney and State Representatives are expected to
argue that the statue, and the Bible, do not cover the homeless or
the hungry. Not in Texas.

One
Down: Goldman
Sachs director and convicted felon has lost his attempt to get the
Supreme Court to kiss and make his two year sentence for insider
trading go away. Too bad he – and a whole lot of his Wall Street
buddies – wasn't imprisioned for crimes against humanity.

Editing:A
Detroit police officer has been charged after videos surfaced of him
beating the crap out of a suspect in custody. “To
many people in this region and across this country … police
brutality seems to be out of control,” Wayne County Prosecutor Kym
Worthy said. Seems?

Our Motto

Keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.
